I began admiring Ariella Katschers talent when she started her first business, A Pretty Pretzel, in the Five Towns. Ariella has since moved back to Toronto, her hometown, and shortly after her return, she opened an online candy store “thecandycatchers.com ”, featuring stunning custom candy platters beautiful, creative gifts, and, of course, her famous artisanal pretzels! Thank you, Ariella, for giving us a step by step guide on how to make these adorable apple pretzels for Rosh Hashana!

Here are some fun and easy back to school  edible crafts

When my children were younger, I spent lots of time on the phone on hold waiting for my call to be taken at my childrens' pediatrician’s office.

The good part about it was that after hearing the recording again and again, the important and useful information really stuck. One of the lines I remember well was: “Do not give in when your child cries and whines to stay up longer. Spending an extra few minutes tucking him in and saying good night, may relax him and help him fall asleep faster.”  

I feel that this concept applies to all areas of parenthood.

Many children are anxious at the start of a new school year. When sending your children off to school, spending that extra bit of time to write an encouraging, funny or loving message, or making a special supper or craft can go a long way.

Summer is the most magical time of year for children.

School is out!

Long, lazy days filled with friends, pools, and adventurous fun. Yet, as it always is in life, all seasons must come to an end to make way for the next.

If we can make the transition from summer to the new school year exciting and worthy of celebration, we can send our children off on the right foot.

The possibilities of creativity are endless, but here are some ideas to help. 

 Here is an adorable Back to School Edible Craft that will excite your children and students as they start a new school year. Have fun and keep those numbers crunching!
